Abstract

JIMENEZ PEREZ, Nayibe  and  DELGADO MORENO, Wilson. La política pública de privatización del sector portuario y su impacto en la organización del trabajo en el puerto de Buenaventura. Pensam. gest. [online]. 2008, n.25, pp.178-213. ISSN 1657-6276.

With Law 01 of 1991 a new regulatory framework was established. Through it Colpuertos' liquidation was decreed and were defined conditions to modernize the port sector and its functioning by Regional Port Societies and port operators. The new management model based on efficacy and efficiency underlying private sector rationality, was implemented in order to increase the port sector competitivity and the Colombian economy. One of the neo liberal basic underlying concepts is the labor market flexibilization regulated in Colombia by Law 50 of 1990 and its posterior reforms looking for production cost reduction and employment generation. However with the privatization process the port sector was modernized and the demand of non qualified hand labor was reduced, utilized intensively in the port activity before its privatization. This article tries to investigate the port privatization political impact on work organization in Buenaventura's Port considering that Colpuertos was the main employment source in the city until its liquidation. Currently, Buenaventura presents high index of employment, unemployment, poverty, marginality, violence, increas of the arm conflict that has converted the city into a strategic scenario of territorial dispute for different illegal activities.

Keywords : Public politicies; port sector; privatization; labor flexiblization; Colpuertos; Regional Port Society of Buenaventura.
